Pro Silva Ireland held a field day in Knockrath Forest (County Wicklow).

This was a particularly important event in terms of promoting Pro Silva and its principles outside of Pro Silva network since Duncan Stewart and the EcoEye team recorded some of the day’s discussions for an upcoming EcoEye TV programme, which is a very popular TV programme in Ireland watched by many. In addition to that, Donal Magner, Forestry Editor for the Irish Farmers Journal, wrote an article (knockrath-irish-farmers-journal(PDF, 1.41 MB)) about the field day, which again helps promote Pro Silva principles to new audience.

A guest forester, Heinrich Joost Bärwald from ProSilva Germany, also participated and added valuable insight from European perspective.
